In December 2025, the CDCgov/dibbs-ecr-viewer project delivered three focused updates to improve reliability, data integrity, and deployment consistency. Key outcomes include enhanced orchestration error handling with detailed logging to support debugging and user feedback during failures; data integrity improvements in the FHIR converter by escaping special characters in code display text to ensure accurate rendering; and build/deployment stability improvements by upgrading Next.js to 15.4.8 and embedding the app version at build time in the Docker image to ensure deterministic builds and smoother deployments. These changes reduce incident investigation time, improve user-facing stability, and enable faster delivery of features with a stronger foundation for future maintainability.

September 2025 monthly summary for CDCgov/dibbs-ecr-viewer focused on delivering a more reliable FHIR data processing path and strengthening resilience to real-world data variability. The FHIR Converter Service was upgraded to a .NET SDK-based implementation and stabilized by reverting to a proven converter version, reducing integration risk and aligning test snapshots. In parallel, we hardened data handling for incomplete FHIR resources by ensuring missing coding is gracefully processed, with targeted tests and end-to-end verifications updated. These changes improve production stability, reduce runtime errors, and simplify future maintenance while preserving existing behaviors where required.
